how many veterans with PhDs in environmental engineering can there be?

Not that many, I would think. I would want them to go back to HQ and make sure that the quals of those higher on the list actually check out. Like I said, it's hella easy to apply to federal jobs now, and I think loads of people are just randomly applying for everything even remotely related to their skill-set, and it ends up penalizing the people who are actually qualified for the job.

Is there any reason not to call Dublin and try to actually talk to someone?

I hope the federal job works out, because then I could come visit you!

Admittedly, I'm likely to be in Atlanta later this year, but that's still a bit from where you are, and it looks like you won't be there then! But I want to visit you!

We are only an hour from Atlanta! And don't you have some old Christian punk rock friends in town as well?

I can't see the family moving before Christmas at this point, because school starts in 4 weeks and it would suck for the kids to move halfway through the fall.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Okay! Then I should try to see you!

And yes, we do. Although they may not be there by then either, because they're currently looking for a bus they can convert into a house. I'm trying to sucker them into coming out west.

We could do a Buffista thing, with Ginger, right? Who else is in range? It's be November. Week before Thanksgiving, I think. I'll have to check.

Nashville's only four hours away! I would totally drive down to Atlanta to see Buffistas. Unless that's the weekend of my cousin's wedding.

Art Crawl!!!

Somebody called Art of the Cookie started following me on Twitter (I don't know why - I rarely tweet) so I went to his/her/their website and it's lovely - chockful of pretty cookies.

Want cookie!

Atlanta F2F! I'll be going to Nashville for Thanksgiving, but the earliest I'd leave would be Tuesday. I'm going to figure out how to get together with Kate one of these trips.

Ginger, I'd love to get together sometime when you're in town! Since our families are both elsewhere, DH and I are often out of town for the holidays, but I'm hoping we can do either Thanksgiving or Christmas in Nashville this year.

I commed bon bon and Ginger's exchange; afterwards it occurred to me - porn is an infinitely renewable resource.
